Many people can't fathom why an AC (which cools the car)
would cause it to over heat. I know, but then, I've got
some knowledge how these things work.

All the big rigs have to move over to the far right lane. Looks like
a snake making its way up the mountain. The pass gets closed down
occasionally due to snow and ice.

Baker CA is a little different. They have the world's tallest
thermometer to tell you how hot it is:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World%2...st_thermometer

The average high in July is 110 degrees F. The grade takes a toll on
poorly maintained vehicles where the driver has a Las Vegas or bust
mentality.

Baker is approaching a ghost town. The ol man died and kids squable.

Fix or not "... the world's tallest thermometer"

It's always good to have an elephant around when you need him. Midwest
bees sometimes go on winter vacation in California. Actually, they are
leased out to pollinate the crops, and then are trucked back to the
Midwest in the spring. They're usually transported in their hives
stacked on a flatbed with a net over the load. I remember at least one
incident when the flatbed turned over.

This is exactly when you should have an elephant.

I guess what you do in a case
like that is run like hell and, if you're a nice guy, give the first
responders a heads up.

Despite the gravel, this seems too short to work. The ones in Pa. are a
lot longer.


That's WAY out west

In southern California they are long... between Vegas and LA.

Boy, that is long. With even a small amount of gravel in the runaway
ramp, any truck should be able to stop by the time it gets to LA.



Even trains have had problems (once a big fire that destroyed a number
of homes - rupturing gas lines to Vegas).

Rocket parts are shipped by train across the desert (top secret)

No need. Just take a little excursion out into the desert and you'll stop.
